Indie Bound

If you can afford it, the best way to support literature and reading culture this holiday season would be to find my novels and other selections at your local independent bookstore. Thanks in advance for any support I receive.

guy from Jersey

At Goodreads, the one hundredth rating of Fight for Your Long Day is for three stars from a guy in New Jersey. I'm extremely thankful for ratings and reviews of my novels, so don't be shy if you're able to help out.

Three Philly schools "reset" tuition

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Lasalle, Rosemont, and Immaculata have all "reset" their total for tuition, room, board and fees to attract a larger applicant pool and increase enrollment. Lasalle's new total of $43,476 per year may be less than full retail on some 2018 4X4 "King Cab" trucks, but it's still a lot of money for college (but now, ironically, compared to other local schools, it's not). Weren't we naive when we expressed shock and awe as a full degree went past 100K total years ago. . .
